Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly joined the race to secure the signing of Arsenal target Viktor Gyokeres.
According to Football Insider, Spurs have registered their interest in the prolific forward, entering a competitive field that also includes Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool.
Since joining Sporting from Coventry City for £16.9m last summer, Gyokeres has been a standout performer.
He made a significant impact in the Portuguese top flight, scoring an impressive 43 goals and providing 15 assists in 50 games across all competitions.
The 26-year-old striker finished his first season at Sporting as the Primeira Liga’s top scorer with 29 goals. His remarkable form earned him multiple accolades, including several consecutive Primeira Liga Player of the Month awards and a spot in the Team of the Year for the 2023-24 season.
With a substantial £86 million release clause and four years remaining on his contract until 2028, negotiating a deal for Gyokeres will be challenging for any interested Premier League club.
However, his proven goal-scoring abilities and consistent performance have made him one of the most sought-after forwards in Europe.
Tottenham are eager to strengthen their attacking options, and signing a striker of Gyokeres’ calibre would be a significant boost.
The interest from top clubs like Liverpool, Arsenal, and Chelsea highlights the high regard in which Gyokeres is held.
As Spurs continue to enhance their squad, the addition of Gyokeres could provide the firepower needed to compete at the highest level.
